"Behind Every Successful Man..........."

Diogenes - Thursday 6/21

None of us know her fundamental beliefs except that almost everything in Michelle’s Obama's life prior to her taking up residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. was critical of just about everything American.

I have no hatred for Michelle Obama, only contempt and disgust. She and her husband are a unintended consequence of political correctness and a perfect example of what happens when the race card is allowed to trump common sense, tradition, and patriotism. She's far more interested in self-gratification, shopping trips, extravagant vacations, a fawning press, and has cost the taxpayer untold millions.

The Obama presidency is a fluke, a hiccup caused by white guilt and black ignorance, an experiment that's gone awry and needs to be shut down in November while there's still enough time to give ourselves the antidote to their misguided pestilence.

And I'm sure the clowns will be glad to get their clothes back........

Alec Baldwin Focus of a Criminal Investigation.

 Mr. Congeniality Strikes Again

“He was like crazy, you know?” said witness Goren Veljic, a photographer who snaps wedding pictures outside the building. “There was an eruption of mad. I think something’s wrong with him.”

Baldwin later compared the incident to the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin:

“I suppose if the offending paparazzi was wearing a hoodie and I shot him, it would all blow over.” The actor added that people like the photographer “need to be deported to some island.”  

What a Liberal Class Act!

Media Snark.....

A Harley Biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.

Whimpering from the pain, the lion jumps back, letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A report has watched the whole event. 

The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, ‘Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I’ve seen a man do in my whole life.’ 

The Harley rider replies, ‘Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.’ 

The reporter says, ‘Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed. I’m a journalist, you know, and tomorrow’s paper will have this story on the front page… So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?’ 

The biker replies, “ I’m a U.S. Marine and a Republican .”

The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page: 

“U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT 

AND STEALS HIS LUNCH”

… and THAT pretty much sums up the media’s approach to the news these days ..

Hey Vintage Media: Investigate This..........

Diogenes - Tuesday 6/19

Last week was the 40th anniversary of Watergate and the media have taken a look back at the state of investigative journalism; they're not happy with what they've found. They're shocked, shocked that investigative journalism has gone the way of the 8 track player! Sure, there are a handful of little-known sources they've found, but they're the exception, not the rule. "We need investigative journalism!" they cry from their Ivory Towers!

Let me ask you big-time mainstream vintage media advocates of investigative journalism a simple question. Have you looked in the mirror lately? As much as you whine about the lack of investigative journalism, you fail to see the reason for its alleged decline is, well, you.

The journalism profession has become little more than a public relations firm working for the Left and any cause it deems vital, no matter how apathetic the public is about it. While media sources spent precious minutes on Mitt Romney's stupid behavior in high school, barely a passing mention or time spent doing a serious story about the national security leaks coming out of the Obama White House. Remember the story about Obama bullying a student in school? No? Not surprising because you guys didn't think it was important enough to address. But Mitt Romney, he's fair game!

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your point of view), bloggers are doing what Woodward and Bernstein were doing during Watergate. I know you media types don't consider blogging to be legitimate journalism because of the lack of accountability when a story is factually wrong (by the way, has the New York Times recovered from the Jayson Blair fiasco?). However, the blogosphere is proving you don't need to go to Columbia to point out corruption in the world around us. And given the state of what passes for mainstream journalism these days, the blogger sitting at home in his PJs is out-hustling the big name reporters you rub shoulders with at dinner parties where the topic of the so-called death of investigative journalism is discussed over Brie and Chardonnay.

Maybe the reason the media are lamenting the "death" of investigative journalism is because you're afraid to dig into their own side's misdeeds. After all, it's always much more fun to try to take down the high and mighty when you have a personal vendetta, right? Ah, but when you realize your side, the one you've put so much personal stake into, is no better than the side you hate, it's not so fun, is it? There was a time when investigative journalists would put their feelings aside and go after the crooks, letting the chips fall where they may. But when you can't separate the personal from the professional, you're going to play favorites and, in doing so, help to kill investigative journalism through politically blind neglect.

If you really give a damn about investigative journalism, stop playing favorites and start sending out reporters to shine a flashlight into the dark corners of the Left. Sure, you may not get invited to as many dinner parties with those Leftists, but at least you won't get scooped like the National Inquirer did on the John Edwards story. Or are you just in it for the big bucks and the shrimp cocktails?

Maybe you in the media could take a short lesson on how to go about it here.

Obama's Law Mentor Speaks

Diogenes - Monday 6/18

 "President Obama must be defeated in November"

But not for the reasons you might think.....

Over the weekend, you may have noticed an article at the Huffington Post about how one of Barack Obama’s former professors at Harvard Law, Roberto Mangabeira Unger, proclaimed that the president “must be defeated” in a YouTube video titled “Beyond Obama,” but did you actually watch the video and listen to what he had to say?

Barack Obama took courses in “Jurisprudence” and “Reinventing Democracy” with Professor Unger at Harvard Law School, and you just know that he’s had to have seen this video by now which was made in May before the bold pivot to the left with last week’s unexpected Presidential Order on the children of illegal immigrants.

He might come off as a bit of a humorless, pompous ass, sure, but don’t hold that against a Harvard professor!
